The leading term in the vector potential multipole expansion involves: $\oint d\mathbf{l}'$ What is the magnitude of this integral? 1. $R$ 2. $2\pi R$ 3. 0 4. Something entirely different/it depends! Note: * CORRECT ANSWER: C
The vector potential for the dipole is: $\mathbf{A}_d = \dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi r^2} \mathbf{m} \times \hat{\mathbf{r}}$ What is the magnitude of that cross product $|\mathbf{m} \times \hat{\mathbf{r}}|$? 1. 1 2. $m$ 3. $m r\sin\theta$ 4. $m\sin\theta$ 5. Something else? Note: Correct Answer is D
The vector potential for the dipole is: $\mathbf{A}_d = \dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi r^2} \mathbf{m} \times \hat{\mathbf{r}}$ If the magnetic dipole moment points in the $\hat{\mathbf{z}}$ direction, what is the direction of the $\mathbf{A}_d$? 1. $\hat{\mathbf{z}}$ 2. $\hat{\mathbf{\phi}}$ 3. $\hat{\mathbf{r}}$ 4. $\hat{\mathbf{m}}$ 5. Something else? Note: Correct Answer is B
